Well, as the subject title states, I'm looking for a colorful (non-flat) icon theme. Any suggestions? I'd prefer it to be in Debian's repos. Thanks.
 


What do you mean with "non-flat"?

Flat is what I don't want. :)

I was asking if anyone knew offhand a good non-flat from Debian's repos to alleviate searching for one (not that I want anyone to do work for me). But I just searched in synaptic and found one called faenza icon theme which looks like it'll do. But if anyone knows of another, please chime in.

I'm another that absolutely loathes the current "flat" icon fad. Horrible looking things.

That said, I've never been a fan of themes, either.

My favourite period for icons was the Vista/Win 7 era, when icons were three-dimensional, with shadows & highlights, and really were wee images that truly represented what they were supposed to be.

I have a directory with an eclectic collection of almost a thousand assorted PNG icons, mostly garnered through hundreds and hundreds of Google/DuckDuckGo searches over perhaps a 15-yr period. And if I can't find something that'll do for what I want.....I'll make it myself.

But I have NO time for the currently available icons out there. Don't like 'em!

You might find non-flat icons by searching for the term Skeumorphic (think mid-2000's icons with depth, 3D, and that resemble objects rather than flat representations)

Here is a handful:

Lololol!!!

Man, what ARE we coming to, huh? At one time, that's just how icons were. They were the same no matter what you ran.....and now, because a new fashion has taken over, the "old" type have a fancy name to differentiate them from the "new" type.

Ah, well. That's evolution, I guess.....or "progress", as some would have it..! Generations come, generations go; things change, as time passes.

Nothing to see here, folks. Moving on.....

I still have a soft spot for skeumorphism myself, I loved the Aqua design style of interface and icons in macOS X on my old iMac, though the limited color palette pixel art icons of the 90's and early 2000's also have a place in my heart!
